Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol may be used alone in denaturing, or it may be used in conjunction with denaturing materials derived from the destructive distillation of hardwood,

such as those which are described in my United 5 States Patents 1,975,090, 1,975,091, and 1,975,092. Likewise, it may be used in conjunction with any other denaturants with which it may be found to be compatible.
